FULL TITLE: Trey Gowdy: CIA May Stop Giving Adam Schiff Information Because He Leaks ‘like A Screen Door On A Submarine’

Former Republican South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy predicted Sunday that the U.S. intelligence community might stop providing information to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff because he leaks “like a screen door on a submarine.”

Gowdy was asked to weigh in on Republicans’ decision Thursday to call on Schiff to step down as chairman of the House panel. (RELATED: House Intel Republicans Call On Adam Schiff To Step Down As Chairman)

“Never seen that before,” said Gowdy, who served on the intelligence panel before leaving Congress in January. “We never voted to remove or ask a chairperson to step down.”

“Adam is a deeply partisan person. He did everything he could to make sure Hillary Clinton became president. And he’s done everything he could to keep a cloud over the Trump presidency,” Gowdy said of Schiff.

If this happens (I hope, I hope, I hope) then Schiffless would have to step down as head of the intelligence committee.

Yes, it was “just talk.”

Gowdy was speculating, during an interview this morning.

I recently heard that there was consideration being given by the Trump Administration to suspend Schiff’s security clearance until he can be vetted again.

He cannot serve as Chair of the Intel committee without his clearance.

Deeply partisan?

I think he means “criminal,” as well.

We’re gonna close the border.

We’re gonna cut off intelligence.

We’re gonna cut off funding to Guatemala and 2 other countries.

Any of these actually happened, as in past tense???

Already happening

We’re gonna close the border.

Trump gave Mexico the deadline of next week for them to get their act together. If they don't, then the border is closed.

To all who think Gowdy had the power to do anything - he was a congressman; he had no authority to prosecute anyone. He could make all the referrals and recommendations he wanted. Wanna know who those went to? Holder and Lynch. Do you really think those two would have done anything?

Congress determines their own clearance. The Executive withholding information from one of the Gang of Eight would be the same as withholding any other kind of information from Congress for any reason.

Congressman have immunity from prosecution for releasing classified information. A leaker might be subject to an ethics complaint.

GW Bush and Congress had a go around over leaking with no real resolution.

schiff’s been doing what the black hats in the Clowns In America want him to do.

He’s definitely not his own man. He’s little more than a sock puppet.

If he had no power, why did he talk such a big game for so long?
